	Not Created Equally works by swapping stats and will ~~usually not~~ produce ~~really bad or good~~ rookies~~, although it is very possible to e.g. "waste" points on Hacking, as it is much easier for a low Hacking stat (especially 2-4) to be ignored for the entire game whilst still consuming points~~ that ~~could be spent elsewhere~~ more ~~efficiently~~. A rookie with high Aim might have low Mobility or Health ~~as a result~~. For the purpose of those modifications, some stats are worth more "points" than others. The total "points" a soldier has on all of their stats is 483, which means 368 points spent on the baseline minimum all soldiers have, and then 115 points randomly assigned to stats.

	The points needed to heal a wounded soldier are rolled randomly between a minimum and a maximum depending on the percentage of health lost (based on the lowest HP reached) and difficulty, all configurable. The points rolled will be multiplied by 1.5 by default on all difficulties, and each hour the healing rate will be substracted. The base healing rate is 80 points per hour, increased by 40 (80 on Rookie) when staffing a scientist in the ~~AWC~~.
